So no regrets about Mitt Romney, about the Koch brothers?” Bash pushed. “Some people would even call it McCarthyite.” “Well, they call it whatever they want,” he said with the faintest hint of a smile. “Romney didn’t win, did he?” video via Free Beacon Related: Breitbart: Why Harry Reid’s Home Exercise Accident Story Does Not Add Up

As reported in Weasel Zippers: OFA Now Using “Shruggie” Emoticon To Pitch Contest To Meet Obama: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Organizing For America is holding a contest to meet POTUS. But, oh darn! I think the deadline is today. Just think: I might have gotten the chance to finally ask POTUS the question that Tammy has been wondering about for the past seven years: What’s wrong with you?

What’s next: Churches to lose tax-exempt status for requiring their pastors to be Christian? Via BizPac: UNBELIEVABLE reason a Christian group got the boot from Calif. campus California State University’s executive order requiring non-discrimination butted heads with Cal State Stanislaus chapter of Chi Alpha, a Christian student organization — and the organization came out the loser. “What they cannot be is faith-based where someone has to have a profession of faith to be that leader,” Associate Vice President of Cal State Tim Lynch said, according to Fox News. “Every club is allowed to establish its own standards for how leaders are selected as long as it’s non-discriminatory.” The group answered the university’s “rules are rules” statement with a common sense...

Strange…we’ve been asking the same question: Is Barack Hussein Obama more loyal to Iran than to the U.S. ? Via Free Beacon: New York Times Ed Board Member Questions Whether GOP More Loyal to Israel than United States A member of the New York Times editorial board suggested that pro-Israel Republicans were more loyal to Israel than to the United States on Friday. “Should loyalty b 2 US or Israel? [U.S. and Israel’s] interests not always same: GOP, in Shift, Demand Lockstep Support for Israel,”tweeted Carol Giacomo, who covers foreign affairs issues for the editorial board. Giacomo linked to an article originally headlined “Republicans, in Shift, Demand Lockstep Support for Israel” that was published in the Times on Friday. The...

Someone needs to tell our petulant POTUS to put on his big boy pants and stop sulking about Netanyahu’s speech to Congress and the results of last week’s Israeli election. If Obama is taking revenge on Israel with this action, it is really outrageous. And dangerous: Via Israel National News: US Declassifies Document Revealing Israel’s Nuclear Program In a development that has largely been missed by mainstream media, the Pentagon early last month quietly declassified a Department of Defense top-secret document detailing Israel’s nuclear program, a highly covert topic that Israel has never formally announced to avoid a regional nuclear arms race, and which the US until now has respected by remaining silent. But by publishing the declassified document from...

Finally. After five years in “captivity.” And six soldiers dead, thanks to this jacka**. Via Fox News: Bergdahl to be charged with desertion, official says Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was taken captive by the Taliban after abandoning his post in Afghanistan and later freed in exchange for five Guantanamo detainees, will be charged with desertion, a senior U.S. official told Fox News. The development comes nearly one year after his May 2014 release — which initially was a joyous occasion, with his family joining President Obama in celebrating the news in the Rose Garden. But that gave way to controversy in Washington as Bergdahl was accused of putting his fellow soldiers in danger by abandoning his post five years...

James O’Keefe of Project Veritas strikes again! And how much would you bet that this guy voted for Obama… twice. Via NY Post: Cornell dean says ISIS welcome on campus in undercover video This guy is either the dumbest Ivy League bigwig ever or politically correct to a fault — for welcoming offers to bring ISIS and Hamas to Cornell University. A video sting operation shows Cornell’s assistant dean for students, Joseph Scaffido, agreeing to everything suggested by an undercover muckraker posing as a Moroccan student. Scaffido casually endorses inviting an ISIS “freedom fighter’’ to conduct a “training camp” for students at the upstate Ithaca campus — bizarrely likening the activity to a sports camp. Is it OK to bring...

More Obama water-carrying from, as Tammy calls them, the Legacy Media. Via Newsbusters: CBS Cheers Anniversary of ObamaCare; Uses WH Stats Passed Off as ‘Our Research Dept’ The CBS Evening News enthusiastically took to promoting ObamaCare in the form of a brief on its Monday night broadcast, hailing the fifth anniversary of President Obama signing the massive legislation into law. Anchor Scott Pelley began by reminding viewers that “[i]t was five years ago today that President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act known as ObamaCare.” Continuing the White House spin, Pelley rattled off a few statistics regarding the health care law that he claimed were from “[o]ur research department,” starting with how “more than 16 million Americans have health insurance...

Well, Mayor de Blasio, channeling Bloomberg, has now taken on the under-five year old crowd. I guess he figures they’re too young to protest. Via NY Daily News: NYC Board of Health’s new, stricter rules for day cares limit how much juice kids can drink, cut ‘sedentary’ time The city wants to make sure day care kids get in shape — and that means more exercise and less juice.

Oopsie… Via Israel National News: Yemen: Worshippers Cursed Jews at Moment of Mosque Bombing Last Friday, terrorists who claimed to be affiliated with the Islamic State (ISIS) targeted two mosques affiliated with the Shiite Houthi rebel movement which has taken over the capital of Yemen, Sanaa. The attacks, carried out by suicide bombers during the rush for Friday prayers, killed 137 people and injured 345 others, according to Al-Jazeera. ….According to video footage posted to the internet and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the worshippers at the mosque were cursing Jews and wishing death upon Israel just as the suicide bomber detonated his explosive device. The preacher is shown saying in the video, “Our belief in...

A story about a bunch of snot-nosed Junior Varsity Leftists, and how reality smacked them in the face during Israel’s election: Via Haaretz: Anti¬Bibi group V15 learns that what works in Chicago doesn’t work in Israel The crates of beer – a contribution from a local brewery – stood sealed in a corner of the room. More than anything else, they symbolized the slightly sour mood that filled the “victory headquarters” of the V15 organization last Tuesday night in Tel Aviv. At that stage, 10 P.M., it still looked like Zionist Union had achieved an honorable tie with Likud, and no one expected the enormity of the eventual defeat [six seats]. One of the activists reached out a hesitant arm...

Reason #1,999,999 to stop giving the U.N. any more of our tax dollars and kick them out of the U.S. They really need to relocate. I hear Outer Mongolia is lovely this time of year. Via Fox News: Anne Bayefsky — Top violator of women’s rights around the world? It’s Israel says UN Guess who is the number one violator of women’s rights in the world today? Israel. Violating the rights of Palestinian women. At least that is the view of the UN’s top women’s rights body, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). CSW ends its annual meeting on Friday, March 20 by condemning only one of the 193 UN member states for violating women’s rights – Israel....

These ads should embarrass Liberals…if they had any shame. The person who put the little girls in these ads should be arrested for child abuse. And Bill in drag? Would’ve been much funnier in a blue dress… Via BizPac: Pro-Hillary ad that exploits little girls sparks social media backlash; ‘An embarrassment for the left’ Twisted new political ads in support of Hillary Clinton confirm that world truly is – upside down. Luke Montgomery is the “brains” behind the political ads that were released Wednesday. He’s also the same opportunist who made a 2014 viral video of little girls dropping F-bomb’s. This time, he exploited little girls to promote Hillary Clinton and urge people to sign a petition to support her...
